What's so hard to understand? I earned money. The feds took a chunk. I invested some, got paid dividends that were taxed. Earned capital gains that were taxed. Socked it away in the bank. I've paid the feds taxes on all that money. And now the Pizza guy wants to institute the Fair Tax, which will take another whopping, insane, totally mind-bogglingly destructive 33% MORE if I dare to spend it! What's not to understand?
And then some moron comes along and says "well you dont have to buy anything. You can buy used." You can bite me.
